(Northwest Evaluation Association) Testing scheduled for the weeks of September 22nd and 29th. During the first week of testing (except Wednesday), and two days during the second week of testing, the instructional day will be from 8:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Classes will be 45 minutes long. Lunch will be from 11:45 to 12:30 p.m. Testing will begin at 12:30 p.m and end at 3:00 p.m. The testing schedule is attached for your review. Students may stay in the afternoons to get help from teachers who are not testing, but no formal classes will be in session.Students will be tested in their advising groups on two afternoons, in the areas of reading, language arts and math. The results will be used to help us differentiate instruction based on students’ areas of strength and weakness. Students will be retested at the end of the school year to identify how much they have improved over the course of the year, and the results will be reported to our authorizer, Ball State University.

We believe that this schedule will provide testers with a distraction-free testing environment. We appreciate your understanding and support in the event this causes you any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
